This allows a channel + operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the + channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining: + the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b). + - PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive. + - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE + command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender + and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding + by completely unknown clients. + - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it + indicates if a nick name is registered (if user mode 'R' set). + - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix + duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries + or deleting no (longer) existing ones. + - Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies. + - MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for + unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501). + - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES", + add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50". + - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25), + WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands. + - LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive. + - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes + that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number + in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5". + - Fix handling of channel mode sequence with/without arguments. + For example, don't generate wrong error messages when handling + "MODE #chan +IIIIItn *!aa@b *!bb@c *!cc@d *!dd@e *!ee@f". + - When sending data on a connection, only try to get the type of + the client if there still is one assigned. This could trigger an + assertion and end the daemon in some error paths. + - Don't try to close already closed/invalid sockets to forked child + processes. This could potentially crash the daemon in some cases + with IDENT lookups enabled. + - WHOIS command: make sure that the reply ends with RPL_ENDOFWHOIS, + don't answer queries for IRC servers, make sure mask matching is + case-insensitive, and that RPL_ENDOFWHOIS numeric is sent with the + unmodified mask (like it has been received from the client). + - LINKS command: support parameter to limit the reply. + - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE + commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with + commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit. + Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks! + - Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variable in the + configuration file is invalid (not a number and no existing user). + - Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-) + - JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single + channel cannot be joined (because of bad name, wrong key or channel + limit reached), but report an error and continue. And don't check + the channel limit and don't report with "too many channels" when + trying to join a channel that the client already is a member of. + - ISON command: reply with the correct upper-/lowercase nick names. + - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not + sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become + "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied + user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details. + - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO " + returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata, + thanks) and "WHO " returned channel names instead + of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel. + - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments + (Thanks to Christoph Biedl). + - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and + update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones. + - Fixed typo in two error messages. + - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting + client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by + using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks! + - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but + are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now + handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least. + Reported by Cahata, thanks! + - README: Update list of implemented commands. + - Log better error messages when rejecting clients. + - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are + synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only. + If you use "*!@" or "*!*@" masks, these connections + are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS, + NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child + processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller. + - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR + for Mac OS X Xcode builds. + - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use + poll() when poll.h exists as well. + - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message. + - whois-test: handle local host name = "localhost.localdomain" using the + pattern "localhost*" for valid local host names. + - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The + default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it, + so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file. + (Closes #119) + - Update GPL 2 license text to current version. + - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes + the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the + socket has already been closed in the child process. + The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-( + (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e) + - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd. + - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user + is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must + be set and unset by IRC services like Anope. + - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user + mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel. + - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only. + - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432. + - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK. + - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore". + - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this, + the server becomes removed from the network and the client list, + but the connection isn't shut down at all ... + - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent. + - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and + forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise. + - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers. + These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment, + but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes" + and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name" + argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved + and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise. + - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes. + This is required for some services to work correctly. + - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root. + - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only. + On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the + asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server- + links, only log a message and ignore the command.
